Go away. I've had a hard night.
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1...aclutch08b.jpg

And here is what I've been waiting for. Five eggs and no slugs.

Here are the eggies all tucked in.

And here's what mom thinks of my efforts.

All in all, this clutch took me a bit a bit by surprise as I was expecting it next week. She was a bit hissy (which is totally normal for her, even without the eggs) but didn't strike once. I was very calm and got her off her eggs and cleaned up without freaking out once. Needless to say I'm very excited, and can't wait to see what her babies look like. She's such a light gold, and I hope she will make hot pastel babies. Wish me lots of em! :D

:banana::banana: That's so cool!! Congrats!! :banana::banana:

Dibs on a female.. :D

Congrats... Christie....Now if you can sex the babies without getting peed on you'll be good to go. :D

LOTS OF EM!!!!:):banana::):banana::)

Congrats!

GOOD JOB CHRISTIE!!!!!!!!!!! :D Make sure you give mom a nice fat rat to reward her awesome reproductive effort. That is excellent & I'm sure you're going to see some beautiful babies from that clutch. :)

Now's the fun part - HURRY UP AND WAIT!!! :D

Wait, you mean I'm supposed to let the babies go? :confuse:

I gave up on that a LONG time ago. For some reason my bp's are EXTREMELY well hydrated. You're always welcome to come up for a shower anytime. ;)

I've got one more girl that I need the luck for, and then I'll send it northbound! ;)

Thanks Raul. This season has been great. All the excitement, and much less stress and anxiety. I'm really just enjoying the experiences as they happen.

Good luck on your girl laying a nice healthy clutch!

Congrats Christie!!!:bow:

Thanks John. How's your season going so far?

Congrats on the eggs Chritie, wishing you lots of little pastels. :gj:

Thanks Deb, me too! I'm really looking forward to seeing this clutch pip, since I missed my first clutch while I was in Hawaii. :rolleyes:

They look wonderful, Christie. Congrats!!!

Thanks Jo. I think I will candle them tonight.

Congrats! if you do decide to sell some pastels put me down for one!

CONGRATS on a healthy clutch!!!

:banana::banana::banana::banana:

The wait will be over before you know it, distracting yourself is key.

Cheers,

I have a key distraction that will definitely keep me occupied. I also have my kids wrapping up school too, so I'm staying a teensy bit busy. I really can't wait to see those babies pip! :banana:

I still don't think I've relaxed on checking on my eggs though. I think I my checking the incubator about 8-10 times a day. :oops:

You're probably right, but I'm already there. (one overworked husband, two kids w/ all activities included and a household of animals will do that that to a girl ;) )

Well I did candle the eggs, and forgot to post the pictures. Shame on me..... :oops:
